For this purpose, the instructional content offered a well thought through progression of form and development.This book represents a very good starting point for an exploration of using a stick in defence of yourself or others.It only lacks in not exploring the challenges of dealing with multiple aggressors. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente libro *by on Reviewed in Mexico 19 April 2026* Excelente libro sobre el uso de "filipinos", fotografías bien detalladas, no puede faltar en la biblioteca de quienes practican artes marciales ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muito educativo *by on Reviewed in Brazil 8 May 2022* Comecei a ler e tive a confirmação de que é mais uma obra prima da Yang Martial Arts. Mostra a aplicação das técnicas usando o bastão curto (fotos em preto e branco na capa comum) assim como as direções básicas de ataque e defesa, além dicas de aquecimento antes da prática.Foi uma ótima aquisição para mim. Não substitui um instrutor capacitado, mas como já sou formado em artes marciais consigo dominar com mais facilidade. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art and Science of Stick Fighting: Complete Instructional Guide (Martial Science) - The Art and Science of Staff Fighting: A Complete Instructional Guide (Martial Science) - The Art and Science of Self Defense: A Comprehensive Instructional Guide (Martial Science) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/223463752-the-art-and-science-of-stick-fighting-complete-instructional-guide](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/223463752-the-art-and-science-of-stick-fighting-complete-instructional-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
